Synopsis

For most people, Istanbul is synonymous with its world famous sights, the Haghia Sophia, the Blue Mosque and Topkapı Palace. Yet a short ferry ride across the Sea of Marmara takes you from the beauty of the historical district of Sultanahmet to the shores of Asia, where a different Istanbul awaits.

An Istanbul vibrantly alive with the sounds of roving vendors, wedding parties, street musicians and more. The stories in Inside Out In Istanbul take the reader beyond the tourist façades deep into this sometimes chaotic, often schizophrenic but always charming city.

Lisa is a Sydney, Australia born sociologist, author and travel writer. She’s lived in Kadıköy on the Asian side of Istanbul with her husband for many years. Her byline has appeared in The New York Times, CNN Travel, The Guardian, BBC Travel and elsewhere. Lisa shares her insights and experiences on her website Inside Out In Istanbul, her three other books, Longing for Istanbul, Exploring Turkish Landscapes and Istanbul Dreams and alternative travel guide Istanbul 50 Unsung Places.
